Object Based Programming

Just as Steve Knight, I don’t find much use for object oriented programming in my own code. But there is a name for methods (or functions or subroutines) that drag a bit of state around and that is Object Based Programming. And it is really handy.

What does it get you?

If you have a few variables that need to be operated on together in multiple methods, you can stuff them in the same object.
